Very interesting. My wife arranged to go to a hypnotherapist about her phobia of spiders but had to cancel as she tested positive for Covid. The hypnotherapist replied saying that this was very telling that she had cancelled and that she could tell from this that she neither had a fear of spiders nor had covid and that she really had a deep rooted fear of losing control most probably derived from childhood trauma and/or abuse.

All of this she apparently garnered from “sorry, I have to cancel our appointment as I have tested positive for Covid”

Absolute nonsense - no trauma or abuse, both of us had covid and she was/is terrified of spiders as is common. It really put my wife off going for any sort of hypnotherapy.

Presumably she could have complained about the woman to the relevant body?
Jeezo .

Did she do mind-reading on the side? If so, she wasn't very good at it.

No decent therapist would do or say anything like that. It just makes the responsible ones look like snake-oil people.

To answer your question, yes, absolutely.
